I am a student in college. I needed this map for a Greek mythology paper as I needed to cite an old map that depicted Scylla and Charybdis. Everywhere

online Kircher's map of Sicily was hidden behind a paywall. While I do not understand anything I am looking at I found the map of Sicily within the book the uploader was kind enough to upload in good condition. Very good book for those who can speak the language or want to see the maps of the legendary Atlantis or charts of the Indian ocean where India looks thinner than it should. Fascinating history here.
